Stakeholder Management

• Collaborate with customer stakeholders, technical teams, and program leadership.
• Drive discussions related to migration planning, cutover coordination, and issue resolution.
• Ensure alignment between business requirements and technical execution.
• Provide timely communication on project status, risks, and mitigation plans.
